I am sure your comments were made in all good faith, but perhaps a little sensitivity mighty be called for on your part While we have each others attention, can I as a Parkie, acknowledge the debt we owe our carers. My wife leaps to my defence against all comers, as thank God, you obviously do for your Parkie. Just remember though, we're on your side.
